Coverage Quality Outdated Vulnerabilities

Timeouter is advisory timeout helper without any background threads.

Usage

Typical usage scenario:

require 'timeouter'

Timeouter::run(3) do |t|
  sleep 1 # do some work

  puts t.elapsed    # 1.00011811
  puts t.left       # 1.99985717 or nil if timeout was 0
  puts t.exhausted? # false or nil if timeout was 0
  puts t.running?   # true
  puts t.running!   # true

  sleep 3 # do another work

  puts t.elapsed    # 4.000177464
  puts t.left       # 0 or nil if timeout was 0
  puts t.exhausted? # true or nil if timeout was 0
  puts t.running?   # false
  puts t.running!   # raise Timeouter::TimeoutError.new('execution expired')
end

You can pass exception class and message on creation or on checking:

Timeouter::run(1, eclass: RuntimeError, message: 'error') do |t|
  sleep 2
  puts t.running!(eclass: MyError, message: 'myerror')
end

Loop helper:

# just loop 3 seconds
Timeouter::loop(3) do |t|
  puts "i'am in loop"
  sleep 1
end

# just loop 3 seconds and raise exception then
Timeouter::loop!(3, eclass: MyError) do |t|
  puts "i'am in loop and not raised yet"
  sleep 1
end

# Break the loop after some success and retuel value
result = Timeouter::loop!(3) do |t|
  puts "i'am in loop and not raised yet"
  if t.elapsed > 1
    puts "work done breaking loop"
    break "RESULT"
  end
  sleep 1
end

Installation

It's a gem:

  gem install timeouter
